Workers at a home improvement retailer are concerned about their exposure to wood dust. There are three workers in the shop who cut different types of wood to size for customers. The saws are in a small congested area, and there are no particular controls in place. The workers have spoken to the worker rep of the JHSC, who brought it up at a meeting with the employer.

What should the employer do now? What types of controls should be put in place if they are necessary? Are there any other safety issues that need to be addressed?
